accordi @ DISACCORDI – International Short Film Festival
celebrates its 23rd edition from 9 to 15 November 2026, welcoming
filmmakers, industry professionals, and film enthusiasts from around the world.
The festival offers a unique platform to share the art of independent short
filmmaking with local audiences, fostering dialogue between creators and
viewers while promoting cultural exchange, professional networking, and the
development of the audiovisual industry in Naples and the Campania region.

The festival is dedicated to fiction, documentary,
animation, experimental, and research short films. Its mission is to discover,
promote, and support emerging directors and independent filmmakers whose works
explore new visual languages and innovative forms of expression through
experimentation, aesthetic research, originality, creative independence, and
artistic innovation. As such, accordi @ DISACCORDI aims to serve as a
privileged observatory of the evolving landscape of contemporary short cinema,
highlighting emerging trends, perspectives, and creative practices.

The festival's diverse programme combines film screenings
with in-depth conversations involving directors, producers, actors, and other
members of the creative teams, creating an informal environment where
audiences, industry professionals, cultural operators, and film lovers can
engage directly with the filmmakers.

Over the years, the festival has expanded into a
multidisciplinary cultural event featuring workshops, seminars, conferences,
educational activities in collaboration with universities and schools,
exhibitions, masterclasses, and special events. It also presents thematic
focuses dedicated to the recent film production of specific countries or
geographical areas, as well as to issues of significant social and cultural
relevance. Admission to all cultural activities is free of charge, reinforcing
the festival's commitment to accessibility and audience development.

Particular attention is devoted to the competitive section
dedicated to environmental issues, showcasing works that address
sustainability, environmental protection, ecological responsibility, and
climate change, while encouraging reflection on the urgent challenges facing
contemporary society.
